After applying a third Glass filter, the bird graphic should begin to appear hand-drawn. Once one filter is set, add another Glass filter and change the settings slightly to add even more variation. Then adjust the Scaling and Distortion to add more variance to the edges. Set the Smoothness at a high enough setting to where the edges have subtle, natural-looking curves. The Glass filter will have options for Smoothness, Distortion, and Scaling. Under the Filter Gallery, you can find the Glass filter under the Distort folder. Once the graphic is placed over a white background, weвЂ™re ready to jump into the Filter Gallery. Place the new layer underneath the tattoo image and merge them together by hitting CTRL or CMD + E. You can use the Marquee Tool to create a square around the graphic and fill it with white. In order to properly apply filters, we need to place the graphic onto a white background. This will help exaggerate some of the filters so that they will still be visible after we scale it down to the final size. We recommend working with the tattoo image at a larger size during this process.

To recreate the slight unevenness of a real tattoo, weвЂ™ll be using the Filter Gallery to apply a series of filters.
